Hi there! Thanks for all the useful info one can gain from this forum.
I have a real need to merge two files to obtain on mailing list that I can
print in zipcode order in assending order.
I think one problem is that there are two lists of assigned unique numbers
to each list. When I tried the cut and paste, that didn't work because I
would have had to add about 400 separate lines of data.
I am the membership chair for a non-profit art organization and we are
getting ready to mail out a prospectus. The data bases are 1.  nonmember list
for the show (this list is ppl who are not members, but because this show is
"open" it goes out to past members or groups of other art clubs). 2. member
list which has current nonmember (organizations) and member data. This list
has a column that identifies those who get this prospectus as does the other
list. This list is the one from which I would like to make the combined list.
There are the usual name address fields in common that I want to use for this
project.
I need to move quickly on this too. (I did not create nor update information
before this year because I just got voted to the chair position, so I have
some catching up to do with the database in general).
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.

Can anyone help with the process?
